tanya Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Newport begin the new era with an Individual meeting on Sunday March 15th. Riders lined up to ride are... All the Wasps, Craig Watson, Nick Simmons, Mark Lemon, Chris Kerr, Jordan Frampton, Brent Werner and James Holder. Alongside these riders are Nicolai Klindt, David Howe, Kevin Doolan, Paul Fry, Emil Kramer and probably more I've forgotten! Should be a great day for all the Newport Supporters who have waited for the new era to begin and to also put to rest the old era by paying our respects to Tim Stone.

Pinny Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 taken from newportwasps.co.uk . Prince of Wales Trophy line up complete 19th January 2009 The full line up has now been announced for the season opener at Newport, the Prince of Wales Trophy in memory of Tim Stone. The eight Newport Wasps of 2009 will be in attendance, plus a mix of Elite and Premier League stars, The two star captures for the meeting will without doubt be former Newport riders Mads Korneliussen and Niels Kristian Iversen. The Danish duo were both given their Premier League debuts with the Welsh club, both in 2003. Therefore they would like to ride in the meeting, as a way of showing their respect to Tim Stone. Recent New Year Classic winner Ben Barker is also riding, as well as Australian duo Jason Doyle and Kevin Doolan. Local rivals Somerset will have an interest with the confirmation that Swedish star Emil Kramer will be taking to the track, whilst David Howe and Nicolai Klindt complete the line up. Co promoter Nick Mallett said "'We have assembled an interesting mix of Elite League riders, top Premier League stars and our own Wasps. It will give the fans a real treat while allowing our own riders to gain some important track time". This is one of the strongest line ups seen at Queensway Meadows for a long time, and it promises to be a top meeting. The promotion have confirmed that the new air fence, obtained during the winter months, will be ready for use as well as part of the track being relayed in time. Iversen and Korneliussen will both be riding in the meeting, which starts at 1pm, before heading up the M4 to Swindon for their Diamond Jubilee meeting. It was first thought that the Danes would only ride at Swindon, but they were desperate to ride at Newport as well to show their official respects to the man that brought them to Britain. Full Lineup (not in riding order): Mark Lemon Craig Watson Chris Kerr Jordan Frampton Brent Werner James Holder Nick Simmons Kyle Newman Niels Kristian Iversen Mads Korneliussen David Howe Nicolai Klindt Jason Doyle Kevin Doolan Emil Kramer Ben Barker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanya Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Iversen and Korneliussen will both be riding in the meeting, which starts at 1pm, before heading up the M4 to Swindon for their Diamond Jubilee meeting. It was first thought that the Danes would only ride at Swindon, but they were desperate to ride at Newport as well to show their official respects to the man that brought them to Britain. Thats a really nice sentiment, I know there were doubts over whether they would be able to ride or not. I'm really looking forward to this meeting which will be the end of the old era and the beginning of the new. A time to look back and appreciate what Tim Stone brought to Newport and a time to look forward to better times ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) If Mads and Puk can do both meeting, I sure as hell can There's a few entertaining riders in that line up. Probably only 2 or 3 riders I have very little interest in seeing, pretty good for a meeting with 16 riders. Can't wait to see Kyle Newmann hunting down Mads and Puk Most people might think it's not possible but I bet he does Edited January 19, 2009 by SCB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colincooke Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) As with the Swindon Meeting it's such a shame this is on the same day as Darren & Sharon's Ozchem Classic meeting at Sheffield. Another really good field but my allegiance has to be with the Boocock's Edited January 19, 2009 by colincooke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another really good field but my allegiance has to be with the Boocock's It could be argued that Sheffield have a meeting on an off day when Newport are having a memorial for Tim Stone on the clubs own race day is the issue here, not the other way around.

Not an argument on my part. Respecting Tim's memory goes without saying. However Darren was a childhood freind of mine & i feel duty bound to be there.

tanya Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 This is also going to be the relaunch for the new promotion so it'll be interesting to see if the old faces make a steady return to the Stadium. There has been lots of rumours that people are coming back and that people that have never been are coming to see and even changes of alligance so should be a good day on the 15th.

Spannerboy Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Surprised Phil Morris has not been invited to this event?? Nik Mallet may have missed a good pr trick here with the local lad come good.... surely with new supporters coming in they would like to see a welsh lad riding??

Nik Mallet may have missed a good pr trick here with the local lad come good.... surely with new supporters coming in they would like to see a welsh lad riding?? I agree spannerboy and from a business perspective you would have thought that Newport would have engaged the services of the only decent Welsh rider to generate more PR, especially seeing that Morris' TV appearances would generate plenty of publicity in the local area. I wait for the Newport fans to come up with the line of Morris not being the rider he was etc, my answer to that is well you've signed Werner and Watson!

Pinny Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 seems a bit harsh. swindon have signed stead who isnt the rider he was, what you think of that? im sure most fans would like to see wizzer riding, however its only fair that each Wasp gets a ride in it and with 8 positions left, which of these would you say morris is better than? kramer howe doolan doyle korneliussen iversen barker klindt maybe morris could be reserve?
